Things have changed since my time, but I went to TJSL for 2 years. If I could go to USD over either CW or TJSL, I would. If there is anyway to get into USD, do that. In the San Diego area it's no secret that USD is the school of choice. Choosing between TJSL and Cal Western depends on a lot of factors. TJSL's numbers and rep have increased over the years since they became accredited in what, 1996? Cal Western has stayed virtually the same since it was accredited way back in the day. Seems TJSL is on the rise while Cal Western is stagnant. However, Cal Western has the longevity factor, being ABA accredited for as long as they have been and being a fixture in San Diego for so long. TJSL operated as Western State for eons prior to becoming accredited in the late 90's, but since they have, their rep has increased. At least their admissions standards have. I haven't followed their placement and reputation in the area since I left in 2002 tho... might want to talk to people more current.

Also wanted to add that I didn't have the #'s to get into USD and I chose TJSL over Cal Western at the time for a lot of reasons (some stated above) but also because it was a better fit for me and I defintely was happy there.

I didn't even apply to USD because I knew I didn't have the numbers. But, I have done pretty well my first semester of LS and am working my a$$ off to do well second semester. So, I may have a shot.

What else do you know about TJSL? I've only heard misc. things (not very good). But it is comparable to where I go right now, I think. I've heard far better things about CalWestern. But its all relative, just have to find the right people.
